This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Joseph Berry had his sentence for theft varied by the Court of Appeal in a judgment delivered on 13 November 2017.

The appeal arose from his guilty pleas to three theft counts, criminal damage and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle at Wexford Circuit Criminal Court on 26 June 2016.

The offences involved the theft of an ATM and vehicles in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, in July 2009. The appeal court found that the sentencing judge had not properly considered mitigating factors or the disparity between Berry’s sentence and those imposed on co-accused.

This case may have concluded differently. The outcome has not yet been confirmed by a public source we could find.
